2025 was a blockbuster year for both AI and critical minerals! To break through the noise and try to understand the trends of the year, I wrote a “Year in Summary” of AI in mineral exploration!

@CriticalStress_ Free shipping too!

[William Davis @WilliamJSDavis]

Just bought the entire 2nd edition of the Treatise on Geophysics for $0.10! Down from the usual $8000!

[William Davis @WilliamJSDavis]

@CriticalStress_ Yep I got them, and so did a friend of mine who bought copies too!

[William Davis @WilliamJSDavis]

@Geoniette Just picked up my copy!

@Geology_Tim Congratulations!

[William Davis @WilliamJSDavis]

I'm happy to announce I've accepted a position as a computational scientist at Terra AI (https://t.co/g9AJafWpMf), working on geophysical inverse methods for carbon sequestration. Leaving academia has been tough, but I'm happy I'll still be doing geophysics!

@gabrielpeyre Great animation! Now show the adjoint Fokker-Planck equation (the Kolmogorov backward equation)

[William Davis @WilliamJSDavis]

Guess the dataset!

@matthen2 This has the feel of one of those discarded scientific theories from the 1800s, like radical theory for organic compounds

@PlanetaryAnna Too real

[Michael Nielsen @michael_nielsen]

One of my favourite letters, insightful & humane, from Richard Feynman to a former student who was having a rough time

I was reflecting on it as an argument in favour of scope insensitivity, or even in favour of smaller problems:
